Lovely, authentic Tuscan home
We had a lovely stay at Casa del Poggio! The house is very authentic and you feel like you live in Tuscany. The Arceno area is beautiful and we really enjoyed the small towns nearby. We had great communication and very accommodating check in and out and cleaning—all so friendly! The wine provided was very nice and we cooked many nice meals in the kitchen. We just had a few ideas for future improvement: an umbrella for the main terrace would be nice as it’s south facing and very hot in the summer, a different system with the doors would be helpful as it was difficult to get in and out and you also risked being locked out, and lastly, a few more updates such as the TV and appliances and perhaps a sound system to play music. Overall, we enjoyed it a lot here and thank the hosts for this experience!

Lovely Tuscan Country Home
Property built in the 1600's updated to accommodate a modern family! Beautiful Tuscan countryside just outside your door! Pool is a welcome addition for summer stays. Owner (Marina) and caretaker (Emanuela) are communicative and very very responsive! The welcome basket with perfect food choices helped start our 8 day stay! We loved the small medieval village, San Gusme as well as the larger town of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Close to Siena and Florence. (Firenze) Perfetto! Grazie Mille!

Great stay in Tuscany
This was a great villa in the Chianti region. The villa suited our group of six. The location was ideal for visiting Siena, Florence and surrounding towns. Roberto responded immediately to any questions we had. A welcome basket was wonderful, supplying any immediate breakfast or snack needs. The wine was a pleasant surprise also. Be sure to follow Roberto's written instructions to the villa. GPS gets you close but his instructions are needed! Would definitely recommend.

The Most Idyllic Escape for the Best of Friends
We had the most amazing time at Il Poggio! The property is well maintained, Roberta and Marina were incredible, and the location could not be beat. We took day trips (by car) to Siena, Arezzo, Florence, Orvieto, and Montalcino, all of which were easily and quickly accessible. Each of our five guests (two couples, one single!) had their own floor and bathroom. We cooked in the well-stocked kitchen, drank wine while watching the sunrise on the patio, and were transported to the past walking through the vineyards to San Gusmè. I cannot recommend this property enough, and I hope to be back one day!

Amazing property in a beautiful location/
Stayed for 5 night in mid October with pleasantly warm weather. The pool was still open which was an unexpected plus. Walking distance to San Gusme, for lunch and lots of interaction with local people. Nearby to many interesting day trips,with areas to be with family. The terrace is perfect for outdoor meals and activities throughout the day. Special thanks to Marina and Roberto for checking on us and answering any questions.

Peaceful retreat
We loved our time in this private villa in San Gusme. Perfect for our family of 6 with space for everyone and lots of different outside seating areas. We did day trips to Florence, San Gimignano and Siena. We walked through the vineyards to San Gusme and ate at the local bruschetta restaurant and we took the opportunity to have someone come in and give us a cooking class which was definitely a highlight of our holiday. Marina and Roberto was so easy to correspond with straight from the start and they could not have done more for us. Roberta, the housekeeper who speaks no English was lovely and with a little help from google translate, we understood each other! The Chianti on-site was amazing too!! Would return.

The peaceful grounds of Villa Arceno can’t be beat (including the pool!). And the addition of air conditioning in the bedrooms and kitchen area since our last stay was such a wonderful bonus on those warmer Tuscany days and nights. My kids and husband are already asking when we can go back!

We cannot wait to return! A wonderful stay in Tuscany
Due to COVID, our long-planned stay in Tuscany to celebrate my son's University graduation was postponed 3 years. Expectations were high and it was worth the wait. Marina and Roberto were outstanding hosts, responsive and generous with their help. Their villa was as beautiful as the photos, the setting even prettier, with rose bushes lining the steps to the front door. On the afternoon arrival Marina and Roberto took us through the vineyards on the walk to the walled city of San Gusme, 10 minutes away. Surrounded by rolling hills it was breathtaking. The welcome basket other reviewers mentioned was just what was needed after a day of travel (and their Chianti very good). The villa had all the comforts needed, lovely linens, fully appointed kitchen and terrace for meals outdoors. (The pool was a 3 minute walk, in another gorgeous setting). Marina arranged for a chef, Giovanna, to come in and cook for us one night. This was a highlight of a trip filled with highlights. During our 12 days we reached out to Marina several times, she responded quickly with excellent problem-solving or suggestions. Highly recommend our hosts and this property if you too are looking for a blissful time in Tuscany.

Quaint Tuscan Villa
Wonderful small Tuscan villa with good location. We even enjoyed many of the local towns close to the villa itself, though Siena, Montalcino, Montepulciano etc are not far. Marina was helpful in helping us set up dinner and winery reservations, tennis, and a cooking class at the villa with Giovanna. Access to pool was also great on the hotter days. We had some minor issues throughout that were dealt with promptly by Marina. There will be other properties that are bigger or have better views, but this is a versatile option with great value.

Absolutely amazing
I highly recommend staying here! This property is absolutely beautiful. It was perfect for our trip with 4 adults and 3 kids. It provided lots of space and the perfect amount of separation for the families. My husband and I stayed upstairs where we had all the amenities we needed like kitchen + full bathroom, the kids stayed on the middle floor and was their own full bathroom, and our friends stayed on the bottom level with a spacious living room, dining area, and kitchen. There were a few toys there that the kids cherished. The yard is incredible and one of my favorite parts was the upper deck where we spent time drinking the wine grown on the property and gifted to us, ate dinners, grilled, and watched the kids play. Our host Marina kept in touch with us an assured all the recommendations that we needed, she also saved the day when I needed medical attention and was able to connect me to an excellent doctor. We loved this home and can’t wait to return!

Perfect Family House in the heart of Tuscany
This house is stunning! It is a beautiful authentic Tuscan house on a gorgeous property. Marina and Roberto are excellent hosts and made sure everything was just right. The check in process was very well planned out and easy and we were greeted with the most amazing food and wine basket and fresh fruit and vegetables to get us started. What a treat! Marina and her husband happen to be away while we were there, but we were well taken care of by her assistant. We had one issue that came up regarding hot water, and Marina went out of her way to have it fixed immediately despite the weekend challenge of getting a plumber out to our place. The house is well situated for our family with different age children, and we all had our perfect spaces to sleep in. The air conditioning was essential as it was close to 100° out, and we really enjoyed the outdoor area in the pool as well. Another highlight for us was a cooking class that Marina set up with us at the house with a local chef and her husband - we arrange that for our first night there and it was so wonderful to meet them and start off our holiday . There is a very extensive and well written instruction manual with all kinds of recommendations for local highlights and trips that was super helpful. All in all one of the most amazing experiences for us and we would love to come back! Do not hesitate to visit this place, you will be thankful!
